   Denounce him all you want, as long as you let him win.

   I don’t think that wookie wins much. I think an arm or two pulled out of socket is a small price to pay for marking him out as the obvious loser he is.

   effin’ weasel

   Bloomberg reports that the Obama administration “is preparing to tell all federal agencies for the first time that they should consider the impact on global warming before approving major projects.” Up to now, under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), federally approved projects had to consider potential impacts like dangerous spills or air pollution, but not global warming. Directing all federal agencies to take climate change into account under NEPA will transform environmental policy in this country, putting a huge new drag on the economy in the process.

   But let’s concentrate on Keystone. The Bloomberg report makes it clear that Obama’s order opens the way for further litigation and substantial delays on Keystone, whether the federal government officially blocks construction or not. That’s because NEPA allows citizens and environmental groups to file claims against projects even after they win government approval.

   So the Obama administration could green-light the pipeline, file a report that stops short of calling Keystone a major global-warming hazard, and still find the project delayed for years by environmental groups bringing court challenges under the new NEPA guidelines.

    Awesome cello work!

    Star Wars wouldn’t been nearly the movie it was w/o the music.

    Likewise, the reign of Oedipus Obamus wouldn’t be the same
    w/o the arrogance.

    Someday the height of his fall will make the Tower of Babel look like the kiddie slide at the city pool.
